Laura Bell Bundy, Rick Schroder Set for CMT’s To the Mat Movie

Laura Bell Bundy, along with Rick Schroder, is set to star in a CMT movie tentatively titled To the Mat. Rob Iscove will direct the project, which is set to premiere in August.

The movie, which has a script by C. Jay Cox, will center on a laid-back ex-wrestler (Schroder), who’s trying to keep his family’s wrestling school above water and the Wall Street consultant (Bundy), whom the man’s mother hires to get the company’s books in order.

Bundy received a Tony Award nomination for her performance as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde. Her other Broadway credits include Wicked and Hairspray. As a recording artist, she has released such CDs as Achin’ and Shakin’, Longing for a Place Already Gone, and I’ll Be Home for Christmas.
